Ivory Chess Setby: Bill R

I have a set almost identical. When I bought it I was told that a US officer had brought it from occupied Japan just after the 2nd World War

Lot's of 1960's hand-carved ivory chess setsby: Keith Sargent

Currently on ebay (it looks like yours): "Vintage Hand Carved Bone Asian Chess Set in Original Wood Board Case" with figures from 1 1/2 inches to 3 inches tall. Starting bid is $39.99. But a week ago the starting bid for the same set was $99.99 but seller got no bids and lowered the price.

Another similar set on ebay has figures are 1-1/4" tall (pawns) to 3-1/4" tall (Kings), with a starting bid of $179.

I have a similar set, but the King is 4-3/4"

The story is the same for all these sets, "My dad was stationed overseas at the time of the Vietnam war and purchased this set."

These were hand carved, but had machine assistance. They look almost identical (do a Google image search), and there are a lot out there, so supply is high, but demand is low. Guess I'll keep mine.

Have you soldthe hand carved ivory set?by: Anonymous

I wondered if you have been able to sell this set yet and what you received for it. I ask because I inherited a similar (almost identical set) and would like to sell it within the next year. I have no idea how to begin pricing it. I live in the US.

Thanks for your time.

I have one of these!by: Anonymous

My father traveled the world as a young military serviceman. He picked up many interesting things including the same chess set in this picture. It has a very few minor issues. All of the pieces are original, as well as the board. Interested? rigchad@hotmail.com
